If, like me, you too had grown tired of the metal-studdeds and the Swarovski-encrusteds, this will come as a breath of fresh Champs-Elysees air to you. The latest addition to Louis Vuitton’s luxurious Parnasséa collection is Flore, the ultimate carryall in calfskin.

Flore combines a practical design with an array of refined details such as braided handles and Louis Vuitton’s heritage Articles de Voyage signature in subtle and pinpoint perforations. Crafted in beautiful Veau Soie calfskin with its fine and natural grain, it is the perfect neutral accompaniment, fashionable day out and in.

Its practicality extends to its generous interior space. An elegant, suede calfskin lined central compartment is complimented by zippered pocket space. Available for $4,000 in a lovely hazelnut, Noisette, the bag has a removable shoulder strap and bottom studs that protect its base.
